Socialism and Banks

Do you honestly know why socialism doesn't work?
Most people believe that its because there is no reason to do over the top work and do your best (this is of course because everyone is "equal" in socialism, so the laziest and hardest working people get the same EVERYTHING). This is a very valid point but isn't enough to stop people from choosing this economic system, this problem can be solved by shooting people (come on, all the socialist leaders are doing it these days).
 
I'll explain the real reason socialism won't work in this little scenaio so you understand. So theres a couple of grocery stores by your house, J-Mart and Wal-Store. Their prices arn't much different but are driven down by each other because of competition, but it happens that J-Mart is closer to you, so you go there. Well a year or two later you find out that J-Mart had bad upper management and is going out of buisness. No biggy to you, you can just go to Wal-Store now, everyones happy, and a new competion, Food Tiger gets opened up by some guy.
 
Now lets plug in socialism. You have Nationalised Grocery Store (NGS). You don't mind the grocery store because it has everything you need (except good customer service, because nobody works hard). Then the first problem hits, a war starts and the government needs money, so they just charge more at NGS. Hmm... sucks for you. Later that year, it comes out that the upper management has been stealing money and has done a terrible job running the buisness and the govenment has to shut it down. WHOA!!! What now?!?! NGS is the ONLY grocery store, and its illegal to open a new one. You starve, sorry.
 
So how does this relate to now? Nationalised banks. We must not let this happen, if seemingly stable banks fall, you can just switch banks. If a nationised bank falls (which is just as likely, if not more likely than public banks) then were all out of luck and money. That is not the future I invision, so I say no to socilism.

Foreign Policy: Eastern Hemisphere

Israel: Ok so the Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting for what seems to be forever and those smart enough to realize it know it’s not going to stop anytime soon. Also what you have though is all these Islamic countries that want to destroy Israel because they took the Palestinian land. Personally I think Israel won its land just like every other country does, by winning wars, so they don’t need to bow down to any demands. The proper solution in this case is for Israel to say “Hey, if you want a Palestinian state your donating land too.” Israel is obviously the strong one here why should they do all the work for the Palestinian State?  First the Palestinian need to organize their armies so the Israeli government doesn’t always have to blame the Palestinian government who may actually want to work towards peace. Second Israel Should put down a reasonable line for themselves that will be the farthest the settlers may go, with harsh punishment if it is crossed. Next Egypt should give up land in the Sinai Peninsula to go for the people of the Gaza Strip they love so dearly and Jordan should donate to the Palestinians in the West Bank. Then with a stable government and making it so Israel doesn’t have to make all the sacrifices, Palestine can become a nation.

Russia: Did Russia really have any right to attack Georgia? Absolutely not! They said that the Georgian government wasn’t treating South Ossetia and Abkhazia right and should let them break away. Well lets talk about Russian keeping territories under its grasp. Chechnya, Dagestan, and the Kurnil Islands (the last is claimed by our ally Japan) have been under Russia’s tight grip for a very long time. I mean personally if Russia wants to give support to rebels in our ally nation of Georgia why don’t we help the Muslim freedom fighters in Chechnya? Muslims are some nice people and they don’t want to be under Russian rule but they have to be. Russia is just acting like the worlds bully.

Somalia: Somalia has had a corrupt unstable government for as long as I can remember. Just recently they have been in the news for Pirate attacks; they need a strong powerful government. Perhaps Sharia? That’s right, Islamic rebels have been surging across the country taking town after town. I believe that if they take power they can use Islamic law and the ordered military they are using now to take control of that nation. I even believe that the U.S. should support them. It shows that America is NOT against Islam and DOES support law and order in the world. It’s a nearly flawless plan.

Iraq: Pull out and watch its economic and political downfall like Germany after WWI, or stay in a risk losing more lives and money to a nearly endless dispute? Neither. What we need to do is divide Iraq into small sectors based on population, economic stability, and amount of conflict. Then we only send support and troops to the zones they are needed and give the other zones COMPLETELY to Iraqi control. Of course the zones with our people will be NATO and Iraq power, but it gives the Iraqis a chance to feel real power and know that we are trying to get a job done. Also with this plan, we can slowly pull out as needed and let Iraq do its own thing.

Bailout on Wall Street

I've heard of Miricle on 34th street, but that was supposed to be a happy story, so what's up with this bailout on Wall Street? Why is the government so concerned with spending our money (that we already dont have) on these companies? I have seen so many local companies go out of business here its not even funny. So many small companies have gone out of business that it probably adds up to several of the large companies. So that being said, why will the government choose to support these larger companies instead? Ok, now to change the subject lets talk about Barack Obama (don't worry we'll come back to this). He also wants to spend money we don't have in a program to create jobs for the millions of unemployed Americans (I bet the worked in small buisnesses), but how are we going to gain at all from these new jobs that build roads and public areas? I know we have enough roads already and it makes it comfusing to get around. So I had some ideas for a new Bailout plan. First: Any business can request a bailout and will be considered equally, every business will not get it but it will be determined by actual need. Second: These buisnesses must cut excess costs, such as bonuses for the employees who do nothing but causee the companies downfall. Finally: The bailed out companies must be mandate to create jobs for our unemployed citizens. Its the most they can do (except for pay us back) if their going to take our hard earned money. Like they say, lets kill two birds with one stone (instead of killing two birds with two different stones that we don't even have).
